* = strum once [Intro] [Verse 1] I always say the first thing not the right thing I’m better at a last call than a phone call I’d rather lean hard on the gas and forget about the brake I try to laugh the truth off instead of face it I come undone without a warning Every time I move on I leave damage in my wake [Pre-Chorus] I’m not what you were looking for Thought I was hello and nothing more [Chorus] All you wanted was something that’s real a story to tell A drink maybe two top of the shelf A stare in a cab on the way to some band A curbside closing time kiss You needed the right head to turn the right hand to touch A feeling to chase a fall you could trust Somewhere to run someone to miss But somehow you ended up with someone to fix oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh [Verse 2] Did you get caught up in the moment Drop your guard for just a minute How’d you get tangled all up in the careless wreck I am Broken hearts leave hearts broken Loving me is so hard I know it Why you took me on I’ll never understand [Chorus] You were looking for something that’s real a story to tell A drink maybe two top of the shelf A stare in a cab on the way to some band A curbside closing time kiss You needed the right head to turn the right hand to touch A feeling to chase a fall you could trust Somewhere to run someone to miss But somehow you ended up with someone to fix oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh All you wanted was something that’s real a story to tell A drink maybe two top of the shelf A stare in a cab on the way to some band A curbside closing time kiss You needed the right head to turn the right hand to touch A feeling to chase a fall you could trust Somewhere to run someone to miss But somehow you ended up with someone to fix oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde le thème des relations compliquées, où l'amour est souvent entaché de blessures et de désillusions. L'artiste exprime un sentiment d'inadéquation, se décrivant comme une personne qui a du mal à maintenir des liens sincères. Il décrit comment, malgré l'aspiration à une connexion authentique, son partenaire se retrouve à devoir réparer les morceaux du cœur brisé qu'il laisse derrière lui. Le contexte semble refléter une lutte personnelle, où les moments de bonheur sont ternis par une incapacité à être pleinement présent ou à répondre aux attentes. Les paroles évoquent une mélancolie touchante face à des attentes non réalisées, conduisant l'autre à chercher quelque chose de plus véritable qu'il ne peut offrir.
